I have recovered (marginally) from my food coma, so before the feasting begins again, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Dean, the pups, and I have been lounging about the house, not doing much of anything. Dean and I had a nice dinner yesterday to celebrate Christmas Eve, and we headed over to our favorite Indian buffet for lunch today. I am taking the next few days off to unwind, so you won’t see another post until Sunday. I plan on reading, playing Monster Busters (I can’t stop playing!), and cuddling with the puppers. I hope you have an enjoyable day! Did Santa bring you everything you wished for??

Dean and I are spending the day with my parents, and I am so excited to see them! I haven’t seen them in almost a year. First, though, we had a whirlwind tour of Walt Disney World (during a monsoon!). Please excuse the poor picture quality, but this is a shot of the new FROZEN Christmas display at the Contemporary Resort. It’s made of CHOCOLATE! I love the cute character designs and their happy expressions. This is my favorite holiday display this year.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for stopping by to read my posts. I’m also thankful for my family and my friends, and for the happy circumstances that landed Poppy and Bumble into our lives. Every day with them is a joy, watching them interact with their world and each other – I am blessed to have them.

What are you doing today? What are you most looking forward to as you celebrate the day?

It’s a known fact that puppies lower blood pressure, so here is a puppy.

In case you were wondering where the reviews have been the past few days, I have decided to participate in the #Bloggerblackout. What’s that? It’s a time to reconnect with why I blog.

There have been crazy things going on in the blogging sphere over the last few weeks, and if you aren’t aware of them, check out this post at Book Binge. It sums up pretty much how I feel, with handy links if you want to read about what’s going on. I don’t feel like recapping; I’m recapped out.

Now that the weather is finally improving, I have been taking the dogs to the park, either separately or together. Here are some pictures from a recent walk with Poppy. There isn’t much green yet, but there are hints of growing things everywhere. There are also dried up leaves from the fall everywhere, which are really, really fun to crunch along on.
